[Bug 157319] Re: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" while using -nvidia with Xinerama turned on

I'm using Xinerama to make one large T-shaped virtual display out of two 1920x1200 monitors, one landscape and one portrait. I've read stuff which implies it might be possible to do this with some melange of XRANDR + -nvidia TwinView + "Virtual" in the "Screen" section, "Display" subsection -- see

[Bug 157319] Re: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" while using -nvidia with Xinerama turned on

Note that Xinerama does not appear to be in the process of being deprecated. The wikipedia article was modified a year ago, describing the old words as "full of lies": . Nothing on x.org seems to lead to deprecation

[Bug 513655] Re: every time fontconfig trigger is run, vte color scheme goes wrong in all my terminals

I am having a similar issue with gnome-terminal (2.29.6-ubuntu5 with libvte 1:0.23.5-0ubuntu1) on Lucid x86_32. It has actually been going on since at least Lucid alpha 3, and probably Karmic (I forget). System is completely up to date -- `apt-get dist-upgrade` every 2-3 days, with all repositori

[Bug 203158] Re: libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio should be seeded by default in pulse-enabled derivatives

This seems to have been fixed by making ubuntu-desktop depend on both libsdl1.2debian _and_ libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio. libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio conflicts with all other variants, including libsdl1.2debian-all. So now, Ubuntu users cannot swap in any of the other flavors without breaking the ma

[Bug 505972] Re: gdm-simple-slave crashed with SIGSEGV in _XFlush()

Apport wants to post a duplicate. Same disassembly, same stack trace. Lucid installed from alpha1, updated to most current. Kernel 2.6.31-10.14-generic. gdm 2.29.5-0ubuntu1. X driver is nvidia propietary v.173 (old card not supported by -current). -- gdm-simple-slave crashed with SIGSEGV in _

[Bug 491483] Re: Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used. (low graphics mode error)

Hmmm, in fact I see that the various "failsafe*" files are part of the "x11-common" package, not of gdm. The simple fact that "x11-common" is laying files down in directory "/etc/gdm" is a warning flag (I'm mildly surprised that `lintian` doesn't complain about it). -- Since failsafe-x was ena

[Bug 491483] Re: Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used. (low graphics mode error)

Although the proposed patch will fix this, it isn't the best approach. The "failsafeXServer" script should be split off from gdm, made its own package, and should be aware of all possible login managers. The man page init(5) has a lovely example: stop on stopping gdm or stopping kdm What's w
